Hearing that Li Changshan was about to be expelled, the students of Class B immediately cheered.

On the other hand, the academy head was still so swift and decisive. He didn’t leave any room for negotiation. He directly called for the staff to carry Li Changshan out.

After Li Changshan was carried away, the academy head said a few more words like “study hard” and “don’t mind too much”. Then, he waved his hand and dispersed everyone, preparing to leave.

“Academy Head, please wait a moment!”

Yi Han suddenly stepped forward and shouted. Then, he pointed at Zhou Xiruo beside him. “Student Zhou has something to tell you!”

“Huh?”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned. Fortunately, she immediately reacted and hurriedly went forward to bow. “Academy Head, I just passed the trial assessment, but Wang Xiao didn’t… Therefore, I want to apply for Wang Xiao to be my companion. Is that okay?”

“Wang Xiao didn’t pass?”

The academy head’s eyebrows twitched. He first looked at Wang Xiao, then at

Zhou Xiruo. Then, he revealed a strange expression. “Did you mean to say that

Wang Xiao passed and you didn’t?”

Zhou Xiruo was caught between laughter and tears as she shook her head. Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, “Academy Head, she said it right. That teacher said that the [Beast Tamer lord] is not qualified to participate in the assessment. ”

“Nonsense!”

The academy head stomped his feet and his aura rose again. “This Old Guan! I asked him to find good seedlings for Yu Heng, but why is he still strictly sticking to the rules?!”

After cursing a few times, the academy head realized what he needed to do. He pondered for a moment and said to Wang Xiao, “How about this? You’ll be Zhou Xiruo’s companion for a few days first. I’ll personally arrange an assessment for you later!”

Wang Xiao hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this. “Academy Head, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. In any case, it won’t delay my travels. It doesn’t matter if I pass or not.” “Sigh! This is something you don’t know!”

The academy head waved his hand, and his expression became serious. “Only by passing this assessment can you officially become Yu Heng’s priority cultivation target. Other than being able to travel outside, there are many other benefits that you can’t imagine!”

Without waiting for Wang Xiao to speak, the academy head changed the topic. “Moreover, even if you don’t mention these benefits, you still have to obtain this identity of focused nurturing.”

“Otherwise, if word gets out that the little hero who once resisted the invasion of the Crimson Star doesn’t even have a key spot in our Yuheng Academy, people will think that our academy is bullying him!”

“Uh… alright then.”

Wang Xiao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Although he did not care, what the academy head said did make sense.

After the matter was settled, the academy head left.

Xu Junrou came in front of Zhou Xiruo and extended her right hand with a smile. “Congratulations on passing the assessment. Wang Xiao has long wanted the two of us to form a team. Now, he can finally fulfill his wish!”

“That’s right!”

Zhou Xiruo reached out and shook Xu Junrou’s hand. Then, she glanced at

Wang Xiao and said jokingly, “He can finally sleep well now!”

When Wang Xiao heard Zhou Xiruo’s teasing, he smiled and did not take it seriously. He took a few steps forward and looked at Xu Junrou seriously. “Is it convenient for us to talk in private?”

“Ah? Of course.’

Xu Junrou was stunned for a moment before hurriedly nodding. However, she had a confused expression on her face. She did not know what Wang Xiao was suddenly trying to say with such seriousness.

Yi Han and Zhou Xiruo were also at a loss, but Wang Xiao did not say a word. Seeing Xu Junrou nod, he walked into the distance.

Seeing this, Xu Junrou hurriedly followed. The two of them walked for more than ten steps before Wang Xiao finally stopped.

“I have a question that I hope you can answer truthfully.”

After stopping, Wang Xiao looked straight into Xu Junrou’s eyes and said in a low voice, “Who exactly are you?”

“What do you mean by that?”

Xu Junrou looked confused. “I’m Xu Junrou, a student of Class C of Yuheng

Academy!”

“Are you sure that’s the answer you want to give me?”

Wang Xiao stared straight at Xu Junrou. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through her soul. “When Li Changshan was exasperated and wanted to attack just now, your reaction speed was almost as fast as the academy head. Is this the strength a student should have?”

Xu Junrou was speechless for a moment, but she immediately thought of a

response. “It’s natural for me to react quickly. Besides, your strength doesn’t seem to be at the level of ordinary students, right?”

Wang Xiao did not expect the other party to turn it around and question him. He was stunned for a moment before continuing, “Since you insist on pretending to be stupid, I’ll get straight to the point. You were sent by Commander Chen, right?”

Hearing the words “Commander Chen”, Xu Junrou’s eyes flickered. She asked, “Why do you say that?”

“I guessed.”

Wang Xiao smiled, and there was a hint of wisdom in his sharp eyes. “However, seeing your reaction, I’m basically certain—and I also Imow what your mission

Hearing Wang Xiao’s confident tone, Xu Junrou’s heart skipped a beat. For a moment, she did not know how to explain. She simply stabilized her expression and did not say anything, wanting to deal with the situation by remaining unmoved.

However, how could Wang Xiao not see through her little trick? He turned around and looked at Yi Han. He said slowly, word by word, ‘Your mission should be to protect… Yi Han, right?”

“Huh?”

Xu Junrou was stunned. When she first heard the word “protect”, her heart was in her throat. However, she did not expect Wang Xiao to actually say Yi Han’s name.

By the time Xu Junrou reacted, she could no longer hide the surprise on her face. She simply nodded. “How did you know? Could it be that you’re the same?”

“What do you think?”

Wang Xiao pretended to be mysterious and chuckled. He was somewhat smug since he thought that he had guessed correctly.

Xu Junrou almost laughed out loud when she saw this, but fortunately, she held it in in the end. She pretended to be impressed and praised, “I thought I was quite good at pretending. I didn’t expect you to see through me so quickly. You’re really amazing!”

“No, no! It’s just some small tricks!”

Wang Xiao waved his hand humbly, but the expression on his face showed that he was enjoying it very much.

Xu Junrou secretly pinched her thigh to hold back her laughter and pretended to be in a difficult position. “Since you already know, I won’t hide it from you. However, Commander Chen said that this is a secret mission, so can you help me keep it a secret?”

“No problem!”

Wang Xiao nodded without thinking. “Commander Chen also asked me to keep it a secret, so you don’t have to worry that I’ll expose you. I just don’t want to work with someone I don’t trust, so I called you over to ask.”

Wang Xiao deliberately emphasized the words “people I don’t trust”.

However, Xu Junrou did not seem to notice. She only heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. “Then I’m relieved. Moreover, with you and Zhou Xiruo around, we will definitely be able to protect Yi Han!”

“Yes, I’m sure we can.”

Wang Xiao chuckled and nodded in agreement. However, in the depths of his slightly narrowed eyes, a faint light flashed..
